Mihku Paul-Anderson to discuss Native American cultural archives in contemporary creative work April 14

The University of New England will host a lecture by Mihku Paul-Anderson - writer, visual artist and storyteller - entitled "Inconstant Territory: Using Native American Cultural Archives in Contemporary Creative Work" at noon on April 14, 2010 in the St. Francis Room of the Ketchum Library on the Biddeford Campus.

Mihku Paul-Anderson is a Malaseet Indian born and raised along the Penobscot river in Maine. A member of Kingsclear First Nation, N.B., Canada, Mihku received a traditional education from her grandfather, a Maliseet elder, and also attended white schools, including college, throughout Maine.

Currently finishing her MFA in creative writing, she also holds a B.A. in communication and human development. As a writer, visual artist, and storyteller, Paul-Anderson has a lifelong commitment to exploring all forms of creative expression. She is particularly interested in the interrelationships and effect of color, form, and pattern on the human psyche.

The lecture is hosted by UNE's Maine Women Writers Collection and Office of Multicultural Affairs and Diversity Programs, and co-sponsored by the Department of English and Language Studies and Women's and Gender Studies Program.

Lunch will be provided
